University Showcase, 11/25, 8a: The University of New Mexico hosted Research and Discovery week recently on campus with all kinds of events showcasing scholarship and programs at UNM. One of the most popular annual events is LoboBITES. More than 60 graduate students competed for one of 12 slots this year. They have just three minutes and one slide to explain their research.
